* Internal components: Valve bodies, clutches, and other internal parts may differ, affecting compatibility and potentially causing issues.
* Wiring harness connectors: The electrical connectors for the transmission may have changed, making it difficult to wire the older transmission into the newer truck's system.
* Mounting points/torque converter: Slight differences in mounting points or the torque converter could cause fitment problems.
While some parts might be interchangeable, a direct swap isn't guaranteed. You'd run into significant challenges, and it's far more likely to cause problems than to work smoothly. It's best to source a 4L60E specifically from a 1996 (or very close year) Chevy truck to ensure compatibility.
